2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread - Part III

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Wasn't quite what he said - or meant anyway. Would he be able to play the way he does (attack minded) at any club outside Hawthorn was the question Carey posed.

I disagree. Read the article, which even includes Carey trying to clarify was he trying to say.

He definitely claims that Mitchell would struggle to get a game at other clubs, a point which he then concedes he was wrong about. He doesn't say that he was misquoted, he concedes he was wrong.

3 Game membership cannot be used for a Showdown

I know this was true when we first came to the Oval but I thought they'd changed it last year or the year before.

 

[Kickin Goals]

You can get into Showdowns with 3 Game GA tickets I did last year, GA is first in first served though so I'd get there at least an hour before the game.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

The faceoff will be up tonight

Ive had some family stuff

Sorry guys for the delay

What's the bet on Brownlow night they get Dangerfield to interview the contenders like that now he's not gonna win it.

He'll probably host the bloody thing !

 

[sgPanther]

just seen a recently uploaded freekickbulldogs grand final video on my youtube suggestions. my god was the umpiring biased towards the dogs as there were so many other instances not even included.

And it was not just for that one game.

The Australian journalist and SEN regular Greg Denham gives an update on some of the game’s key trade whispers.

Josh Kelly – "North Melbourne is very confident but I’m not even sure he has told his manager Paul Connors what he wants to do just yet."

Dustin Martin - "I never thought he would leave Richmond, but it's now highest bidder."

Jake Lever – "Rumour mill rife he’ll go to Collingwood. Rumour mill has a habit of being right."

Mitch McGovern – "It’s either Adelaide or Perth. Too hard to pick at this stage but could end up going home to Fremantle or West Coast. Fremantle probably has more room in its salary cap than the Eagles."

Jacob Hopper – "Still very unsure about where he plays next year. I’ve been strong all along that it’s between Geelong and Carlton. I believe Carlton think they can still get Josh Kelly and Hopper."

Gary Ablett – "The fact Chris Scott said there are too many obstacles to get him to Geelong throw a spanner in the works. Contracted to Suns so might have to stay or retire."

Sam Reid – "Collingwood and Richmond interested and would be mad not to be."

Tom Rockliff – "Getting linked to Adelaide and Port Adelaide more and more in recent times. Last time I spoke to Brisbane they were reasonably confident he’d stay. Might stay but I’m unsure where he plays.

Charlie Cameron – "Heavily linked to Brisbane and said to be initiating the move."

Jasper Pittard – "Linked to Essendon and North Melbourne. Pretty good odds he’s not at the Power next season."

Interesting we aren't linked to Hopper.....

Probably more a case of pro-Victorian media coverage

Cameron to Brisbane, would this be the first time a contracted player may pick a club with the ability to actually give us something we need?

We'll probably let him go quite easily, contract or not, if he's leaving for family reasons.

Collingwood traded Dayne Beams to Brisbane for family reasons and still got plenty.

Ah
Let them go and play in teams
going absolutely nowhere

What does this mean?

Sorry
Meant teams
West Coast and Freo doin' nuthin'
Collingwood .. well ... nah

West Coast and Freo soon' nuthin'

I can see Freo improving if they move Lyon on. Add Gov to their side and they have one of the more talented lists

You think they're up there in top 4?
Either side ?

 

[Dream Daddy]

Fremantle's top end talent is unquestionable.

Hill brothers, Fyfe, Waters, McCarthy, Neale are all elite players. Add Gov with a few of their kids coming through and they have a great list.

It's a pity their coach makes Primus look like Clarkson

Thought Ross was contracted until the end of 2020. Big contract to buy out if they want to move him on

 

[Vader]

Collingwood traded Dayne Beams to Brisbane for family reasons and still got plenty.

Dayne Beams was worth a hell of a lot more than Charlie Cameron. Cameron is only worth a 2nd round pick at best.

Would probably need a handshake agreement between club and coach.

2020 looks an absurd contract in hindsight

Ha
Heard it all now

Rowe the idiot reckons Port in front with Dixon Ryder and Polec against Betts Lynch and Jenkins !!!!

Based on output this season it's hard to argue otherwise.

But over the last 3 years Adelaide clearly ahead

What? Do you know Ross Lyon's history and the major reason he decided to leave St Kilda for Fremantle?

 

[ad victoriam]

Dayne Beams was worth a hell of a lot more than Charlie Cameron. Cameron is only worth a 2nd round pick at best.

Do not mind Brisbane's 2nd pick, But would prefer Brisbane's 2018 2nd round pick.

 

[baldandbroke]

Ha

Well ... it's a strange comparison of players but ...

Ryder is the best ruck in the league.
Betts is the best small forward.

Dixon is goin ok this year - Jenkins has a better goal per game average but I'd say they are pretty close to each other in terms of ratings ... probably just give it to Dixon.

Polec and Lynch are comparable in many ways - very much barometers for each team. Slightly in Lynch's favour.

Add in a small forward for Power and Jacobs for Adelaide and the comparison makes more sense, but overall it's a very close thing.
